When the free press Drew Public attention to this barefaced partisan activity the part a government Otto Al the Telegram made the following announcement we believe .

James the Back for haying. Proved him self such a serviceable tool As chair Man the private Bills commit tee in the underhand work Block ing the Northern Pacific application. The Boissevain banquet by the Way will not Only concentrate Public Atten Tion a Reeh upon the manner in which the Northern Pacific was barred out but it will also throw into striking Relief another main efflorescence Roblin policy namely the spoils system. The Boissevain land. Titles office is simply a conservative club maintained at the Public expense the staff devote their energies primarily to partizan activity and Only secondarily to their duties As provincial Public servants. As to the manner the Burkine the Northern Pacific application. It does not require to be recounted at any length. As the Public Are aware the declaration was formally made by . John s. Bart k. C., the Legal firm representing the Northern Pacific in Winnipeg that the application was for the re Entrance Northern Pacific into Manitoba and that the Northern Pacific was be Hind the applicants. This Declara Tion was plainly and explicitly made by . Bart in his address to the private Bills committee. The chair James Turtle Moun afterwards when he was cornered that he did not hear . Ewart. Truthful James obedient to the instructions his political master also undertook afterwards to state publicly that . A. N. Mcpher son informed him that the North Ern Pacific was not behind the application an assertion which . Mcpherson at once denied indignantly in a letter which he sent to the Winni Peg papers. The Public patting the Back which the master the administration is going to administer to James at the Boissevain banquet will make James Backbone still More pliant and supple for still further feats serviceable Ness at the next session the legislature. Having made obeisance testify loudly As with one voice to the Wisdom the Roblin system making the provincial Treasury stand the Cost keep ing up the party organization. It is the custom in the Guild Hall banquets thus to have an appropriate Anthem Sung before the speech making is entered upon. I these three energetic partisan j finials deserve Well Hon. R. I Roblin and other members the provincial they have had to work hard to set the arrangements for the banquet Complete the conduct which the sitting member Turtle j Mountain was guilty at the last ses Ament melt by t Sion the legislature has placed him in such a discreditable Light that the Manitoba s under representation. The minister Justice by a simple calculation has arrived at the. Conclusion that in the next parliament Manitoba will be entitled to ten Mem Bers. This is the basis our popu lation As set Forth by the census taken in april 1001. This makes the unit representation 2o. shall not get our ten representatives until the Nert parliament which will not be chosen in the Ordin Ary course events until 1905. Organizers the banquet have had to exert All their Powers persuasive Ness to prevail upon a sufficient num Ber to lend countenance to this attempt to Whitewash him. Hence it is that i. Roblin Aud other members the government Are to be hand to Back 1 up and encourage the serviceable that time there will be at least half a million people in the province Mani Toba and we shall therefore have Only half the representation to which we shall be entitled. Twenty five thousand people in the Bast will have the same representation As fifty thous in Manitoba. This is a very Seri Ous grievance particularly at Thih time when determined efforts Are be ing made try certain parties to in Duce the East while it yet has the Power to legislate in its own interests at the expense the West. Yet we not see any Means by which the met Short an amendment by Tihe Imperial Parlia ment to the British North America act. The territories Are in a differ in shall be the purpose a commercial depot and the construction a Sou Dan and Uganda. By this latter pro vision the. Late Cecil Rhodes great a line from Cairo to Cape town is brought appreciably nearer realization. Tho Frontier Between Abyssinia and Uganda remains to be settled but it is not anticipated that any difficulty will arise that score. One very significant Point about the compact is that it ignores alike the Khedive and the Sultan. It is an other indication that England s protectorate Egypt is intended to be permanent. There is to be a meeting leading United states publishers in washing ton this month to draft a memorial to Congress asking that Wood pulp be placed the free list.

At the Winnipeg Board Trade the other Day when the question government Aio to the grand trunk Pacific was up for consideration ?.he discussion took a wider Range and the Genera question the need railway outlets for the West claimed attention. In this connection the barring the Northern Pacific i last year by the provincial govern ment was referred and one gentleman who was present speaking in the defence the government had the temerity to pretend that the statement was not made by a member the government that the Northern Pacific application was rejected be cause the Northern Pacific had not approached the government in the proper the gentleman at the Board slaughtering cattle at the rate 150 per Day. The average value the Anlap is destroyed to Date has been the government pays the own ers three fourths the estimated value the cattle condemned and killed. The Cost suppressing the plague is computed at More than these figures give some idea the necessity strict quarantine regulations to prevent the spread the disease to Canada. The Eastern newspapers who have been quoting the draft Macdonald Bethune Resolution As the opinion the Winnipeg Board Trade should make it a Point to Correct the error. A Resolution couched in the terms employed could not command half a dozen votes in the entire member ship the Board Trade. As a mat Ter fact it was not even voted upon a very much Milder declaration being Trade appeared to think that he Dis posed the matter by denying that . Roblin had made this statement.

Mcfadden made this statement the floor the legislature the evening Friday february 28 last in the closing hours the session when the Liberal members blocked the staving off tactics the govern Nie it and forced them to show their hand openly. The attempted denial at the Board Trade makes it desirable that the facts should be briefly referred to once again. Another reason for re the Public memory the substituted for it. This too failed to command any considerable measure support. The misapprehension the position has been general in the East the Globe having Given widespread circulation to the error by publishing it in its editorial columns and an explanation is in order. do not de sire the Bast to believe that we have taken leave our senses out Here.
